MannyThakk Posted October 21 Posted October 21 In the chicago land area and looking for some new lfs to check out next weekend. Got any good recommendations? Been looking for apistogrammas but as popular as they may be, havent had any luck in my area.
Tony s Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Thought you might like this. She is 1/2 of prime time aquatics and lives in Naperville or Schaumburg, I believe. Before Chicago aquashella, she put this out so people could wander around to her favorite stores. She and her husband Jason were really great people to meet. We spent both days at Aquashella and my daughter(9) was like “can we go back to Primetime now”? She even put my daughter in a video. And my daughter gave out free hugs at the end. 1

I just only found out they are in the chicago area after aquashella so i missed out on asking them because i hadnt really seen much of their videos at the time. Il def take a look! Ive been to 3 of the 4 stores she recommended. Zooaxe only recently discovered.

When we go north to Chicago it's usually for the museum campus or Brookfield. Neither my wife or daughter has any interest in fish store after walking 10 miles in Brookfield 🤣

MannyThakk Posted October 22 Author Posted October 22 Stopped at Ocean Design in Chicago on the way to work and they do sell Aquarium Co-op products and offer the 5% member discount as well 1
HUKIT Posted October 24 Posted October 24 I’m in Crystal Lake and Birds N Beasts is my local store, I’ve been stopping in for 30 plus years. They still run almost the entire store on UGF’s. Aquarium Adventure in Hoffman Estates is a better choice as they’re a large store and offer a large selection of fish, aquariums, hardscape, and supplies. 1

I live about 15 min from birds n beasts and def my fav store. Im actually planning on stopping by today to pick up some stuff. 1
HUKIT Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Fish Island in Barrington on Route 14 is worth a trip too. 1
